More Snow

The mountain behind my house. If you expand this photo, you can see men working on the tops of their homes removing snow. Most of the houses are built with a flat roof and the weight of the snow will quickly collapse their homes.


Another view of my mountain.


A different view--overlooking a park a couple of blocks from my house. A B-road is in the left/distance.

We awoke to more snow this morning. After an unusually warm day yesterday, this came as a bit of a surprise. I climbed out of bed a little earlier than normal this morning and saw the ground covered; I sat out on the upper deck of my house and watched the snow falling for a while. Kabul was very peaceful at that early hour and I enjoyed the serenity of the moment.
